Origin
Summary
The new city-wide Zoning By-law, Bylaw No. 1156-2010, was enacted by City Council on August 27, 2010. The single Zoning By-law for the City is intended to bring greater efficiencies and effectiveness to the manner in which zoning regulations are administered and enforced. In creating the single Zoning By-law, the focus was on capturing the intent of the existing by-laws in one city-wide by-law.
With respect to parking in driveways, the new Zoning By-law appears to be unclear as to how it may be interpreted. This report recommends an amendment to By-law 1156-2010, clarifying that this by-law does not prohibit parking in a driveway.
